... Check Out Sep Vanmarcke (Belgium)

20 / 20

It's one thing to line up for a race beside your boyhood hero. It's another to beat him in a sprint to win one of your nation's biggest races. That's what happened to Sep Vanmarcke when he triumphed over Tom Boonen to win Belgium's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in February 2012. And the 23-year-old will certainly be one of team Garmin-Barracuda's protected riders at the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. If he rides with the same confidence he displayed in the Omloop, Vanmarcke could give Boonen another run for his money. Rider website, Twitter@sepvanmarke
